繼“富二代”、“官二代”、“貧二代”等網(wǎng)絡(luò)流行詞引發(fā)熱議后，近日，網(wǎng)絡(luò)上又出現(xiàn)一個(gè)熱詞——“拼爹游戲”。很多網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為，在貧富差距越來越明顯的社會(huì)，子女的貧富意識(shí)也越來越明顯，這就造成了子女比拼各自的父母，例如：經(jīng)濟(jì)能力、社會(huì)地位等等，這些人認(rèn)為自己學(xué)得好，有能力，不如有個(gè)“成功”的老爸……

Someone said: “Life is a game. Following rules is the only way you can survive.” Young people from poor families complain that they are currently being judged on their family backgrounds rather than their abilities and knowledge when they are out seeking for jobs, or finding a potential partner. This is probably another one of society’s rules and it’s called “competition of family background”.

有人說：“人生就是一場游戲。遵守游戲規(guī)則才能生存。”來自貧困家庭的年輕人都抱怨，說找工作、甚至找男女朋友的時(shí)候，人們看重的往往不是能力和知識(shí)，而是他們的家庭背景。這大概是這個(gè)社會(huì)的另一個(gè)規(guī)則吧，這個(gè)規(guī)則叫做“拼爹游戲”。

With a good family background, namely parents of high social status, wealth or power, the children, known as the “second rich generation,” are able to get decent jobs and social status ahead of those from poorer families. Children from poor families think traits like hard-work, creativity and sound academic achievements can never beat having a “good father”.

有個(gè)好的家庭背景，比如父母社會(huì)地位高、有錢或有權(quán)，那么被稱為“富二代”的他們的孩子就能輕易勝過貧困家庭的孩子得到體面的工作和社會(huì)地位。貧困家庭的孩子認(rèn)為勤奮、創(chuàng)造力和好成績根本比不上有個(gè)“好爸爸。”
